Choosing a Passive Magnetic Speed SensorHere are the steps:
(1) Choose either Passive or Active (Hall Effect) type Sensor -
If the top RPM is under 100 RPM then use a Hall Effect Sensor
(2) Choose Thread Size and Length
(3) Choose the classification - do you need FM or UL approval for hazardous areas?
(4) Choose the application - General Purpose, High Sensitivity, Power -
(5) Pick the type of connector.
(6) Choose the Mounting Bracket and Sensing Gear ( if required)
(7) Choose the Tachometer

Speed Sensor ApplicationsAI-Tek Speed Sensors are used in a variety of applications.
AI-Tek Passive speed sensors convert mechanical motion to an AC voltage without the need of a power supply. These self-contained magnetic speed sensors produce a magnetic field which, when in the proximity of a ferrous object in motion, generate a voltage. The fequency of this voltage is directly porportional to the speed of the object in motion.
AI-Tek Hall Effect Speed Sensors are available in uni-directional and bi-directional models and utilize integral active signal conditioning electronics to provide constant amplitude output regardless of exciter speed. These speed sensors can be powered with a wide range of supply voltages and are compatible with digital equipment. These units are ideal for zero speed and very low speed applications.
